Headline

Revealed: the reasons why UK associates join US firms - and it's not just for money

Comment

Fully agree with anonymous 11:05, if a comparison were made between average hours worked at US firms vs MC firms in London, I 'm convinced you would find that MC associates work the same, if not more, hours that US firm associate. The myth / misconception that hours are worse at US firms is a result of the spiel often given by MC senior assiciates / partners either to dissuade juniors from moving across or, in the case of associates, to rationalise their decision to stay. I think a study into why/how US firms in London can afford to pay 30-40% more than MC firms would be very interesting.
